How long have I been traveling through space/
To find something that is bigger than me/
to fit into as a part of its world
My world - My world
Your world - your world
My world - something totally different
Back when I was not so cold and lonely/
there was so much more matter around me
your mass has a strong hold on me/
I’m helpless to fall into your atmosphere
When I come hurtling at you/
you’ll wish that you were really far from here
Asteroid impending - asteroid impending
Asteroid impending - something totally different
We only have a few seconds of this/
before the moment’s passed/
so, let’s make this last/
You see me coming at you, with a fiery rage/
But it’s too late, you’ll never escape
Our new world - Our new way
Our new world - Our new way
I’m sorry.

Broken glass on the floor when I walked in
unlocked was the door, didn’t see it coming
’Til the rag was on my face
tossed in the trunk like a bushel of grapes
the only thought running through my mind
was I need to escape
The trunk opened to see a man
with a mask over his face,
I tried to ask what he wanted,
but out came the tape
Help - Help - Help
I’M GONNA GETCHA
Is it money he wants
OR JUST PLEASURE
Help - Help - Help
I’M GONNA GETCHA
Is it money he wants
OR JUST PLEASURE
My hands are tied and I don’t know why
I’m, too young to die
I can’t believe it,
these feelings left inside
I’m in this trunk
and now we’re going for a ride
Where is my baby?
he should have been home by now
glass on the floor and
sparky was strangled
Where is my baby?
he should have been home by now
glass on the floor and
sparky was strangled
WHO DOES THAT TO ANIMALS?!
Darkness, peels into my soul
I’m in a damp place and I wanna go home
can’t change my situation
but if I stay vigilant I might get home
close my eyes when he tortures me
Imagine that I’m being swallowed up by the sea
grit my teeth and flex my bones
fly in my mind up into the sky…

If I say it’s Jane Smith
they’ll tell you Jane Smith died
I look good in a Black Suit

The House of the Rats
03:46

-
The rats are crawling out of the cracks/
They’re making tiny little beds out of our scraps
the scratching on your kitchen walls/
they’re creeping underneath your stairs
the sound you hear, when they’re crying
and the smell they leave after they’re dying
and it’s never gonna stop
they will never go away
— because they’re
here to stay ay ay-
— The house of the Rats
they’re taking my life away
— The house of the Rats
they’re sucking my soul away
— The house of the Rats
And I know I will never escape
— The house of the Rats
Climbing rafters and humping like mice
They run and hide when you turn on the lights
but when you leave it’s time to boogie
And you know they like to boogie
and now they run across your wooden floor
eat all your food and then they come back for more
and it’s never gonna stop (stop, stop, stop, stop)
they will never go away (way, way, way, way)
because they’re here, to, stay ay ayyyyy
You thought your house was safe
why you think you got it so cheap?
they’re gonna turn your house
into a rat house (a rat house)
you’re gonna wish that you lived in
a cat house
but it’s a rat house
— The house of the Rats
they’re taking my life away
— The house of the Rats
they’re sucking my soul away
— The house of the Rats
And I know I will never escape
— The house of the Rats
They’re taking my food away
— The house of the Rats
They’re stealing my cheese today
— the house of the rats
and they’re never gonna go away
— the house of the rats
I know, I’ll never escape
— — the house of the Rats

Crawling up the side of a stone wall,
The leaf I ate still filling my belly.
Lately I’ve been feeling myself,
with all of my tiny, little arms.
Going unnoticed, not hurting anyone,
making my way in my pointless existence.
Time will only tell how long I have to live
Maybe I’ll stop and say hello, I had a lover once.
A little Caterpiller, she said she needed space,
the next time I saw her she flew away disgraced.
-
Sometimes I run into another living thing,
could a ladybug, or something that stings.
Millipede they call me, but I’ve no use for the term
But I suppose it’s better than being a dirty earthworm.
Time will only tell how long I have to live
Maybe I’ll stop and say hello, I had a lover once.
A little Caterpiller, she said she needed space,
the next time I saw her she flew away disgraced.
-
I’ve been alive too long it seems,
the darkness of the forest towers over me.
Memories of predators haunt my dreams,
I curl into a ball to get some sleep.
walking’s such a chore these days,
I just can’t be bothered, what with all these legs

La da da, you will always be,
You think you’re the only one,
to conquer me, but you’re wrong
You think you’re the first one,
to ruin me, how you’re wrong,
I’ve been in love long before,
and it empowered me, yes you’re wrong
you came into my life,
and let me see, it was on
I remember all the good times,
you shared with me, ya da da
and if I recall correctly,
sad times were seen, la da da
through trial and tribulation,
we sailed through the sea, ya da da
you never made promises,
you couldn’t keep, ya da da
you will always be-
(Solo)
you will always be-
you will always be-
you will always be-
It began to take a toll,
a toll on me, ya da da
Disappointment sometimes showed,
it’s face on me, la da da da
I’ll probably just sit here,
until I weep, ya da da
don’t take it too personally,
I like to keep, bottled up
Lost but not forgotten
you will always be-
Lost but not forgotten
you will always be-
Lost but not forgotten
you will always be-
Lost but not forgotten
you will always be-

Mountie Song (Live)

-
I’ve seen them come, and I’ve watched them go,
out of the palm of my hand, into cold white snow.
Feeding feral squirrels, running all around me,
they will never leave me cold, that’s why I became a mountie.
Taking long walks in the glistening snow
Having long talks with the animals
I am alone.
-
I’ve been here, going on two years,
but frozen waterfalls, remind me of my tears.
I left the city, for the wilderness.
I don’t feel bad, because there’s no one to miss.
Taking long walks through the frosted fields,
having long talks with the animals.
I am alone.
-
I have my needs, so I made a raccoon my date.
I showed up early, but the raccoon was late.
Taking long walks in the sunlight
having long talks with the animals
I am alone.

One summer day the elves came running’
Runnin’ down the eastern road.
tired and hungry they begged for mercy,
from all the horrors that had been foretold.
And all I replied, was go on
Day in, day out, we all worked together
working for the common good,
doing quite well if you ask our brethren,
’til giants came down from the darker wood
A peaceful treaty had been implemented,
thousands of years it had held.
But the immortal giants are multiplying,
and now they’re taking our land as well.
And so I said, “That’s horrifying.”
We’re gonna need some help for this quest-
Sheena is an archer, the best in all the land,
Gladrick mastered blacksmithing when he was just a lad,
Hamrick has the power to see all that in his path,
and Gadram is a protector as he wields the wizard’s staff.
Travel to the heart of the giant’s city,
climb the highest tower,
hide in the shadows from the goblin guards,
make sure not waste your power.
You will have to climb all day and all night,
save your strength ‘cuz there’ll be a big fight
there’s a nine headed cat weighing over five tons,
he has many heads but his lives are just one,
for in his room there’s a crystal flame,
to fail in protecting it would be his shame.
You must acquire the crystal flame,
and then, DEFENESTRATE!
After that your mission will be complete,
are you ready to try this feat?
And so I said, “Let’s go.”

The Distant Future - the year 2525
That’s when the corporation released the pill.
You take it just before starting puberty and it messes with the hormone release process that starts at that age, letting your body grow for a few extra years. Then once you’ve reached 6’5, the new average height, you stop the drug and develop like normal. But they didn’t listen to the warnings.
The year 2535, that’s when the giants took over. We can’t match their size or power, but we’ve got speed and brains on our side. They call us, The Shorties.
You gotta eat 5 times a day
when you’re seventeen-feet tall
you gotta learn how to obey
the rules set by the small
You got so big
you try n push everybody around
but you know what they say
even giants come tumbling down
-
WARNING: MANY SHORTIES REPORTED IN THE AREA
-
big horny teenagers rebelling just to say they did
don’t realize they need us
because they’re all just kids
I’m proud to be a shorty
hiding here with my friends
we’ll make those giants tumble
we’ll fight until the end

Birds shitting off telephone poles, a bum’s staring at me
the smog is rolling in thick, a bus ran over my feet.
You could say it’s just another fucking day,
living in the city by the fuckin’ bay.
Just makes you wanna give up, OK,
That’s why I drink and say-
… Like a Motherfucker
Never eat
… Like a Motherfucker
Keep the beat
… Like a Motherfucker
Walk the streets
… Like a Motherfucker
… Like a Motherfuckerrrrr
I love it when the smell of piss, fills my nostrils and I catch a whiff.
I love it when your dog takes a shit, and when it’s left and I step in it.
Got spit on by a senile man, the cops pull me over cause I look Mexican,
My rent is rising, I live in a hole, the only cigarettes I have I stole!
… Like a Motherfucker
Never eat
… Like a Motherfucker
Keep the beat
… Like a Motherfucker
Walk the streets
… Like a Motherfucker
… Like a Motherfuckerrrrr
Now dance, dance, dance, you Motherfuckers!

You know that it’s the saddest thing, baby,
when I know we’ll have to be apart now,
I just wanna keep holding on to you, baby,
So I can feel the beating of your heart, now,
It feels to me, like such a tragedy, got me
Frustrated
Can’t you see, it’s meant to be
Why can’t you tell mere!?
When will I, see you, again?
It’s so hard to walk away from you!
When will I, see you, again?
Knowing this might be the last time!
When will I, see you, again?
When exactly, tell me when you’re gonna come back!
When will I, see you, again?
Now you know I can’t always make the time,
-Tryin’ ta get to you, Tryin’ ta get to you
But don’t you know, you’re always on my mind
-You know I miss you too, know I miss you too
Time flies when you’re by my side, but without you
I can’t bear
It’s just not fair, when you’re not there, but I don’t care
I just wanna know!!!!
When will I, see you, again?
You know baby, I just can’t walk away!
When will I, see you, again?
Tell me this ain’t the last time, no way!
When will I, see you, again?
Just tell me when you’re gonna come back!
When will I, see you, again?
